Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck in the evening. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Start with a weekly application and gradually increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin. Apply a moisturizer afterwards. Do not use with other retinoid products. Use sun protection during the day.

Almost perfect Retinal!
This retinal formulation is very light and easy to spread and sink into the skin. It's comfortable to wear and I did not experience any skin irritation. So glad that the it is offered at such a high percentage of retinal that is rare to find from other brands at such an affordable price. What would ...

Disappointing
I received this product as a gift from a friend. Apon first look, I was baffled how little product you get for the price. I've used OTC retinaldehyde for years, so I think I will stick with it: I get the same amount of care and three times the product for the price. The Ordinary is not what it used ...

I have only started since around October of2023 to use any type of retinol, all The Ordinary. I started on the lowest Retinol, moved up one and when this got released, my last order I included this. It really works great. Dark spots on my cheeks are noticeably less noticeable.
Undereye or Not?

In the directions it says not to apply it to the eye contour, but it also says in the description that this Retinal improves the look of crows feet. May/Should we use it around our eyes or not?

This is the best serum I used so far, with my sensitive skin I am very careful in what I put on my face.
Fabulous!
I use this on my neck and under eyes in the evening. I have previously used retinal at 0.1%, and was looking for something stronger. I've had no irritation thus far, despite having very dry and sensitive skin. Big fan!
I see the difference

Dear users of the ordinary, grow up! So many of you complained about the yellow tint I had to write this. Yes, you get a bit yellowish so what? Use it before going to bed. It works and that's the only what matters. I'm a 40-year-old and recently I found out that all my colleagues thought I was 28. Thanks to the ordinary products and my good genes my skin is in excellent condition. Yellow you say? I don't mind if it's green of blue for as long as is support my skin health.
